The name of the Teixarde Vinyes Domènech estate comes from a place in Capçanes known as the Font del Teixar, an area of 3ha located in a protected natural area of great beauty and ecological value between the Serra de Llaberia and el Montalt, at 400m of altitude, surrounded by mountains with pine forests and Mediterranean low lands. The terrain is very irregular, which promotes intense winds and lower sun exposure, which delays the vegetative cycle of the plant, promoting as lower maturation period and providing the Grenache grape’s maximum expression.
Tasting note: The initial nose is direct and intense; ripe red fruits; currants; blackberries and dark cherries. Given a little time it will open to aniseed; menthol and black pepper with liquorice and aromatic Mediterranean herbs like thyme; rosemary and lavender. The palate is ripe and bright; as well as creamy and smooth with the red fruit countered by balsamic notes, mountain herbs and a gentle spicy acidity.
Winemaking Detail: Grapes all come from a single vineyard, Teixar. Organic and Biodynamic viticulture on 80 year old vines, with a limited production of 400 grams per plant. Hand harvested on a number of occasions to ensure optimal ripeness, days or even weeks apart. Low pressure hydraulic pressing for minimal extraction. Fermentation occurs naturally on wild yeast at around 25 to 30 degrees with maceration on their skins lasting a maximum of a week. Then aged 12-14 months in foudre of 1,500-3,000L with low sulphur at bottling.
